Cosmic
Catastrophes
Exploding Stars, Black Holes,
and Mapping the Universe
Second Edition
From
supernovae
and gamma-ray bursts to the accelerating Universe,
this is an exploration of the intellectual threads that led to some of
the most exciting ideas in modern astrophysics and cosmology. This
fully updated Second Edition incorporates new material on binary
stars, black holes, gamma-ray bursts,
wormholes,
quantum gravity,
and siring theory. It covers the origins of stars and their evolution; the
mechanisms responsible for
supernovae,
and their progeny; neutron
stars, and black holes. It examines the theoretical ideas behind black
holes and their manifestation in observational astronomy, and
presents neutron stars in all their variety known today.
In addition to recent developments in astrophysics, this book also
covers the physics of the twentieth century, discussing quantum
theory and Einstein s gravity, how these two theories collide, and the
prospects for their reconciliation in the twenty-first century. This will
be essential reading for undergraduate students in astronomy and
astrophysics, and an excellent, accessible introduction for a wider
audience.
J. Craig Wheeler is the Samuel T. and Fern Yanagisawa Regents
Professor of Astronomy and Distinguished Teaching Professor in the
University of Texas at Austin, where he was Chair of the department
from
1986
to
1990.
He is President of the American Astronomical
Society and will serve from
2006
to
2008.
He has edited books on
supernovae
and accretion disks and published a novel. The Krone
Experiment, that has been made into a film of the same title (www.
thekroneexperiment.com).
